I did and I am. I have and I know this might sound silly, started a custom XE-S build. Today I am having a new hood I had fabricated installed. XE guys are not too big into moding yet so I miss the f type banter, but I have this love for modern jags and what can be done, especially with the V-6 motor cars. I have been quite impressed with the XE handling. The hood is a standard XE aluminum hood I bought new. The new factory hood was less than what the ebay crackers wanted for damaged ones. I am adding a classic look to it versus the modern plastic venting inserts. I cut the hood apart and used Posies Customs in Hummelstown PA to punch the louvres. Thanks for asking, I miss all the f type guys and gals!
the hood is being installed today. I'm documenting this on the XE forum.
Nice. While I only have the XE 25t, I too have been very pleased with its handling and ride, with the caveat that I keep all-seasons on it, so I don't press it too hard. I was pretty surprised the first time I put it in D+S on some twisty backroads - more fun that I expected.

Shouldn't be too surprising - it's a Jaguar, after all, and they do concentrate on handling (maybe at the expense of other aspects!).
